Livable Buckhead celebrating PARK(ing) Day with pop-up park Sept. 18

Livable Buckhead will celebrate PARK(ing) Day by creating a pop-up park for its weekly Food Truck Friday Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 3314 Piedmont Road—in front of the LA Fitness center and adjacent to Buckhead’s famous Disco Kroger.

Livable Buckhead, a nonprofit organization leading the effort to create more greenspace in Buckhead, will transform its usual Food Truck Friday parking lot into a pop-up park setting with a soccer field, pet adoption location and more.
